Introduction Four generic types of construction robots have been suggested in [4]. They were an assembling robot, an interior finishing robot, an exterior wall finishing robot, and a horizontal floor finishing robot. The interior finishing robot, as explained there, was designated to execute various interior finishing operations, such as partition erection, painting, plastering, jointing, tapin...

Shoulder musculoskeletal disorders are among the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and constitute an important health problem. One of the occupations that are most affected is workers on assembly lines (Leclerc et al., 2004), as these jobs requires repetitive movement, which, as a risk factor, has been found positively associated with shoulder disorders. Repetitive movement ...

Abstract The production of hybrid components involves a long process chain, which leads to high investment costs even before machining. To increase safety and quality during finishing, it is necessary provide information about the semi-finished parts geometry for machining identify defect at an early stage. This paper presents investigation predict variations in dimension cavities inside materi...

OBJECTIVE This study compared occlusal contact areas of ideally planned set-up and accomplished final models against the initial in class I and II molar relationships at finishing. METHODS Evaluations were performed for 41 post-orthodontic treatment cases, of which 22 were clinically diagnosed as class I and the remainder were diagnosed as full cusp class II. Class I cases had four first prem...

A novel nanofinishing process using improved ball end magnetorheological (MR) finishing tool was developed for finishing of flat as well as 3D surfaces of ferromagnetic and non ferromagnetic workpieces. In this process a magnetically controlled ball end of smart MR polishing fluid is generated at the tip surface of the tool which is used as a finishing medium and it is guided to follow the surf...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth coating material and finishing agent on bleached enamel surfaces after using KTP laser with 27% hydrogen peroxide. BACKGROUND DATA There have been few reports on the effects of tooth coating materials and finishing agents after bleaching. METHODS After 40 crowns of human extracted maxillary incisors were bleached by KTP...

INTRODUCTION The finishing and polishing phases are essential to improve smoothness and shining on the surface of acrylic resins used to make removable orthodontic appliances. A good surface finishing reduces roughness, which facilitates hygiene, prevents staining and provides greater comfort to the patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to analyze the changes on surface morphology of ...

PURPOSE Different types of tooth preparations influence the marginal precision of zirconium-oxide based ceramic single crowns. In this in vivo study, the marginal fits of zirconium-oxide based ceramic single crowns with vertical and horizontal finish lines were compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-six teeth were chosen in eight patients indicated for extraction for implant placement. CAD/CAM...

Two studies were conducted at two locations to evaluate growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs fed diets containing either glyphosate-tolerant Roundup Ready (event nk603) corn, a nontransgenic genetically similar control corn (RX670), or two conventional sources of nontransgenic corn (RX740 and DK647). A randomized complete block design (three and four blocks i...
